The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

how do I parse an XML file using Coldfusion 8

Asked by Viking46 in ColdFusion Studio, Cold Fusion Markup Language, Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: Coldfusion, XML

I have an XML file which is located in the same directory as the cfm which is to parse it. The XML file is as shown below.

When I send a query string to the .cfm file, the variables are extracted from the query string as follows:


<cfset language=url.lang>
<cfset textName=url.txtName>

I am then left with the language, which is either en or no ( for English or Norwegian) and the textName which will correspond to the XML tag that contains the text that is to be retrieved for the specified language. For example if the language =en and the textName=enable, I need to be able to parse the XML file and return the string "Would you like to enable speech on this site?".

As previously stated the cfm file and the languages.xml file (shown below) are both located in the same directory on the cold fusion server.

Can somebody please show me how to parse the XML file (languages.xml) using the language and textName variables to retrieve the correct content?

Thank you in advance
